Reviews for Kensington Quarters in Philadelphia, PA
Stylish, intimate and great casual date spot. It's got a modern bar lol but serves fancy restaurant style small plates.... Everything was delicious! Great drink selection too. Highly recommend the Tuna, calamari and duck entrées! Read more
This place left a wonderful first impression on me. I sat upstairs at the bar with two friends for happy hour / early dinner,... and everything was divine, from the ambiance to the food to the service. I would recommend the oysters, scallops, and yellowtailcrudo. Most importantly, get a drink - my bartender Jason made the most incredible concoction for me, and I was left wantingmore of the grapefruity goodness. Read more
I came here by bus for dinner on a Monday evening in late June 2022. The reservation said only patio seating was available but... their entire dining room was empty and allowed for indoor seating if you desired. Their entire menu is tapas style while thelast two sections are "more substantial entrees/tapas". I ordered three Nova Scotia and three Velvet Sea Oysters but since onlyone Velvet Sea Oyster was available, I substituted two of them with Barstool Cocktail Oysters. They were all delicious. I alsogot the Yellowfin Tuna Crudo, which was also very nice but it didn't wow me. I then had their Cacio E Pepe pasta which was alsojust okay and did not wow me. I then had the Grilled Octopus which was also just okay. It was pretty bland even though it wascooked very well. The entire dish needed seasoning. I even had to ask for lemon wedges, which only helped mildly. I will sayhowever, that the Oysters were shucked very well. The service was also very good. Those are the only redeeming qualities though.Don't go out of your way for this place. If you do, don't order anything I did except for maybe the Oysters. Read more
Easy to say the food was amazing, drinks were spectacular but the best part for me was the service. I travel a lot for work,... spoiled by growing up in Austin with a service filled town I have struggled to find what I personally feel is overwhelminglygood service from staff. The food is stunning so far everything we’ve had in both visits this summer have made us leavesaying, “actually felt welcome and worth every penny spent” Read more
While out to Philly for business, we were told this place is a must go. We completely agree. Jason the bartender and Claudia... were awesome and the Sugar Shack oysters were some of the best I’ve ever eaten. Read more
Wow. This place is a must see, whether in Fishtown or just Philly proper. Incredible culinary and cocktail experience. I... immensely enjoyed each bite and sip, spending much longer than anticipated meandering through their mouthwatering menu. Jason,Alex, and the entire team put this place over the top. Attentive, insanely fun and knowledgeable, the KQ team are THE best.Thank you all. Read more
Great brunch menu! Super friendly service, tasty options. Eggs Florentine on awesome milk bread. Tender omelette and delicious... potatoes, only thing is size:) my husband said he would eat more :) and of course jelly donut, freshly made! And couldn’t notto point out the hay straw, quite cool eco friendly option and it will last through the brunch time, not like paper ones. Lastlythey have inside and outside spaces, definitely kids friendly. Read more
Food quality is excellent. Interesting way to "shove" seafood into each recipe. But defiantly worth a try. You will be back!
